Doomsday America

Chapter 57 Acting in Silence
Seeing that the two were leaving without notice, Eugene quickly got out of the car, picked up his MK11, and said...

"Hey, what are you guys up to? I'm good at sniping, but that doesn't mean I can only provide support from afar. I can join you guys too!"

As soon as he finished speaking, he took two steps toward the two of them, clearly annoyed.

Seeing this, Gavin stopped and, with a half-smile, stopped Eugene, saying...

"This place is about 100 meters away from both the cowboy dormitory area and the cowshed. Even if we encounter special danger, there is a high probability that our speed will allow us to temporarily outrun the zombies and rush back to the Raptor pickup truck."

"But it's different with you. Your gun is heavier than ours, you're slower than ours, and your physique... well, close combat against zombies has nothing to do with physique, your height is already sufficient."

At this point, Gavin chuckled jokingly, while Eugene spat unhappily and cursed.

"Fuck you, you bunch of tall devils! I know, I'll be keeping an eye on you!"

After saying that, Eugene angrily got into the driver's seat, opened the car door, and lit a cigarette.

Amidst the smoke, he waved to Gavin.

"I'm right here, ready to support you anytime. Don't worry about me driving off!"

"Heh, I'm not worried about that."

Gavin smiled and waved, then walked away with Madison.

Watching Gavin's retreating figure, Eugene swallowed hard and couldn't help but look towards the cattle ranch.

Are there really no other zombie cows here?

If there's another... or even more zombie cows that haven't appeared...

So... does he really dare to keep the car parked until Gavin and the other guy run back?

Or, to put it another way, did Gavin and his companion really have a chance to run back under those circumstances?
Thinking of this, Eugene pulled off the slightly sticky cigarette butt and flicked off the ash.

After taking another drag of his cigarette, he suddenly couldn't help but sneer amidst the smoke.

"You never worry? You never take risks? Who would believe that? You're crazy!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Eugene excitedly licked his lips again, while also wiggling his finger that was about to pull the trigger.

came back!
They're all back!

That kind of life where you can see heads explode and blood splatter just by pulling the trigger...

They're all back!
Meanwhile, Madison, following behind Gavin, nervously swallowed and asked Gavin a question.

"Boss, are there still zombies in the dorm area? I think Eugene has killed them all off pretty well."

"Perhaps, but things can always be unexpected, so we must remain vigilant."

Gavin responded and changed direction slightly, arriving at the area outside the cowboy dormitory closest to them.

Leaning against the wall, Madison followed Gavin slowly forward, his teeth chattering slightly, and he whispered to Gavin.

"Then... boss, Eugene really won't drive away?"

"Who knows? Maybe he'll not only run away, but also shoot us. You saw how accurate he is."

"But why do you think he did that? For his sense of security? For his personal gain? But did we have any conflicts with those people? He wasn't on drugs."

Gavin made a joke, then leaned closer to the window and looked into the dormitory.

Unlike construction site dormitories, the cowboy dormitories are not cramped spaces with many bunk beds, cramming a large number of people into them.

In reality, a cowboy dormitory only has four bunk beds with individual desks, and the dormitory also has various facilities such as refrigerators and air conditioners.

Gavin spotted an uninvited guest through the window, beckoned to Madison, and whispered something.

"Look, an accident."

"Gudong..."

Madison swallowed hard, carefully approached the window, and saw a guy wearing earmuffs and an eye mask, wandering aimlessly around the dormitory.

"Gudong!"

Madison swallowed again, then pointed to his ear at Gavin.

Gavin nodded.

Whether it's earmuffs or eye masks, Americans often use these things when they sleep.

Especially in a farm environment where you can hear dogs barking, cows mooing, and horses neighing all the time.

At night it's alright, at least not every cowboy has to sleep with his full gear on.

But if a cowboy is on daytime rest, then earmuffs and eye masks are essential items.

Following the angle of the earmuffed zombie, Gavin continued to look inside the room; at least there were no other zombies in this room. So Gavin went around the back window, walked to the dormitory door, and pushed it open.

Carrying the claw hammer, Gavin walked into the dormitory. When he got within about two meters of the zombie, the earmuffed zombie was still wandering around unconsciously.

What else is there to say?
Gavin raised his hammer and brought it down.

Boom!
Gavin supported the zombie's body and gently placed him on the ground.

Madison peeked inside from the doorway, made sure Gavin had made the kill, then breathed a sigh of relief and left for the next room.

The cowboy dormitory had already been sniped and cleared out, so if he and Gavin were to explore every room together, it would be a waste of time.

Madison was aware of this.

Although he could not hide his nervousness, he still firmly held the shotgun behind him and took the Viking battle axe hanging from his waist with his right hand.

Arriving at the next door, he slowly pushed it open.

"Gudong."

After swallowing hard again, Madison peered into the room.

Good, the room windows are broken, and there are no zombies inside.

So Madison looked back and saw Gavin leaving from the previous room, giving him a thumbs-up to indicate that he was safe.

Gavin nodded and moved past Madison to explore the next room.

Madison, mustering her courage, and Gavin went one after the other to explore a dormitory room.

Finally, just as they were exploring the third-to-last room in the corridor, a new zombie appeared.

As soon as Madison arrived at the door of the house, he heard the low growls of the zombies.

Noticing Madison pause slightly behind him, Gavin came to Madison's side and looked at him questioningly.

Meeting Gavin's questioning gaze, Madison shook his head and then gave himself a thumbs-up.

Then, he pushed open the door, picked up his Viking battle axe, and went inside.

The zombie in this house wasn't wearing earmuffs; instead, it was squeezed into a corner by the overturned bed, struggling against the wall.

Seeing Madison approach, the zombies widened their eyes and scratched and clawed. Madison strode forward, gritted his teeth, and chopped the axe down heavily.

a bit.

Two times.

After hacking away six or seven times, Madison finally managed to release the tension in his heart.

Looking at the blood and flesh stained on the axe blade, he took a deep breath, swung the axe, and left the room.

At the doorway, Gavin nodded to Madison and continued exploring.

The two methodically inspected the last two rooms before leaving the dormitory and heading to the next dormitory area.

The next dormitory area is relatively old, not one of the recently built ones. It's a remnant from Gavin's dad's small farm era, so the space is even smaller, and there are a few more zombies left.

After the two left the dormitory area, they actually killed four zombies. One of them even found an opportunity when Gavin opened the bathroom door, rushed out and pounced on Gavin's chest.

Although he died quickly, he still left Gavin with some bloodstains, but Gavin didn't care.

After confirming that the dormitory area was completely clean, Gavin took a deep breath, left the dormitory and came to the meadow, pointing to the dairy farm more than 200 meters away!

Of course, a dairy farm wouldn't be built near cowboy dormitories, since dairy farms are associated with the smell of cows and a strong stench of manure.

If the cowboy dormitories are built right next to the dairy farm, the cowboys will have to sleep with stuffy noses.

Noticing the direction Gavin was pointing, Madison nodded emphatically, then put away his tomahawk and took the shotgun off his back, holding it in his arms.

Gavin put away the claw hammer, picked up hk416, and slowly walked towards the dairy farm.

On the distant hills, Eugene spotted Gavin and his companion approaching the cattle ranch through his scope.

At that moment, he spat and then started the car.

"Wait for you to run back? Can you outrun an ox?"

Eugene gave a cold laugh and then continued to stare at the two of them.

He silently made a decision, should a large number of zombie cattle actually appear from the cattle farm.

Well... he might try to pick up Gavin and the other two.

But if the situation becomes so dire that it's impossible to pick up anyone...

He promised to carry two people's portions and hold out longer in this damn apocalypse!
